www.nytimes.com/live/2025/02... This was just gross. Especially the way Vance lectured like a teacher berating a misbehaving child. It’s all pretext anyway for giving up Ukraine. Anyone could “make a deal” and “stop the war” if that just means handing over Ukraine to Russia.

That’s pretty unequivocal. Even does the nod and smile afterwards, like “yeah that’s right”. Stop pretending these are not Nazi salutes! youtu.be/cTDMHv0IXt8?...

I know there have always been people who complain that the world is moving and changing too fast, but those people were all wrong and pathetic, whereas now, I feel suddenly that the world really is moving and changing too fast, and I’m sure I’m right. Complete coincidence that I’m getting older.

This is frankly awesome. I won’t comment on WFH/office (or the unfair blame on Gen Z), but documentation and comms in corporate life have become unwieldy, ironically partly due to more systematisation producing more ‘data’, so… I welcome whatever comes out of this. www.theage.com.au/business/com...

Example of the unseen love labour done by women: I always fold my family’s t-shirts so that logos (or paint splatters in husbands case) are on the outside so that they don’t have to unfold a T-shirt to know which one it is. Work that people don’t even notice but has an impact nonetheless!

Sam Kerr found not guilty: good! Rules are rules but come on. Case should never have gone to court. Cops are supposed to de-escalate these situations. And you look like a giant baby for complaining about racism if you’re white.

I want to read every single story that’s in the headlines and I also don’t want to read any of them. Exhausting times.

I did 12 laps in a small pool today followed by twenty minutes leisurely but steady treading water and this felt like a good amount of exercise for the first day of a holiday. More walking and swimming tomorrow. 👍🏻😎

Not saying a lab leak couldn’t lead to a pandemic, but isn’t it far less likely than the animal-to-human vector that has caused every other major outbreak??

This may be a very specific feeling, but is there any nicer feeling than lying in bed under a light blanket listening to tennis while it’s still light outside and your family cleans up after dinner they made after you worked all day following 5 hours of sleep last night after a night at the tennis?

Fact checking doesn’t work anyway. Community notes isn’t perfect but it’s the same principle as Wikipedia, which works quite well most of the time, and that’s the best we can expect. I think. Idk.

Trump is appalling. However: In a modern democracy it is NOT the norm to jail presidents and prime ministers. Imagine if it was?! Civilian criminals get jail. Elected criminals get political sanctions. I mean, sure, Trump is getting neither. But stop demanding jail time, that’s unrealistic and dumb.

I’ve never understood the argument against daylight saving from people who seem to think that the sun rises and sets at the same time throughout the year. You don’t think there’s a reason that daylight saving exists? (Screenshots from Washington Post)

Shoutout to the experts who appear on podcasts and don’t respond with “Yeah that’s what I just said” when the host tries to add to their commentary with “And also…” and then repackages what they just said. 😖
